Solidarity with Starbucks workers! Starbucks makes BILLIONS every year. The very least the company owes its workers is good faith negotiations for a fair contract and to END their illegal union-busting. Everyone should be able to organize at work!
Rule 10 of the Authoritarian Playbook is to rig elections. And Trump just pardoned people who were CHARGED WITH CRIMES to overturn the 2020 election for Trump!   Corruption on full display!   We must push back to Save our Republic!
The pardons include 77 allies tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and former Trump attorney Sidney Powell.
The vote to reopen the government with no deal on health care is a brutal blow to all those who have stood together to save affordable health care for more than 20 million Americans. I will vote ‘NO’ with every fiber of my being.

Trumpsters would rather go door-to-door snatching food out of the mouths of our children, then do the right thing and fund SNAP fully for all of our most vulnerable families across the nation.
The Trump administration told states that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the chaos surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...
A close-up of an individual’s hands, wearing a fuzzy, light-colored fleece, arranging cans of food on a table. Cans of black beans and tomato are visible.

HUGE NEWS! Because of Democratic pressure, Oregon SNAP recipients are reporting their cards have the FULL November benefits!   Everyone who called out Trump for using hungry children and seniors as a bargaining chip has WON with tremendous results!!
Kids, seniors, and vulnerable families aren't bargaining chips. Glad to see the court making clear that Trump needs to stop weaponizing food against Americans and release full SNAP benefits!
HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.
